Here is a great video from Moscow unlimited that pits the BMW X6M SUV with a PP-Performance Stage 4 package against a stock Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. There have been a lot of SLS AMG racing videos as of late and it is somewhat of a good benchmark for performance. The X6M is obviously much heavier at a penalty of about 1600 pounds. But, a tuned twin turbo 4.4 liter V8 definitely make quite a bit of power and torque definitely more than the stock 560 the naturally aspirated 6.2 liter M159 V8 featured in the SLS.

The X6M by courtesy of its all wheel drive gets the jump in the race. It takes a long while for the SLS AMG to run it down. The 1/4 mile time shows this as the SLS gets a poor launch running a 12.93 to the 12.66 of the X6M. So the X6M wins the 1/4 mile sprint although the trap speed shows the SLS is pulling harder at this point. The SLS runs through the 1/4 at 118.85 (VERY slow trap for an SLS) compared to the 114.41 for the X6M. Is it the cars or the timing equipment?

Regardless, the SLS eventually runs down the X6M and passes before the mile. A very impressive showing by the X6M which belongs to GermanBoost network member @Ghost. Check out the video below.
